Question

Rewrite the following polynomial in standard form.

5
X 2
-6- — - x
2

Answer 1

`-(x^(5) )/(2) - x^(2) -6`

Explanation:

`-(x^(5) )/(2)` has the greatest degree and is, therefore, the first term in the equation.

-
`x^(2)` has the second greatest degree and is the second term in the equation.

-6 has the lowest degree so it is the last term.
